DESCRIPCIONDESCRIPTION

Carcasa de admision que comprende un intercambiador termicoAdmission housing comprising a heat exchanger

La invencion se refiere a una carcasa de admision de un flujo de gases de alimentacion de un motor de combustion interna y a un modulo de admision de flujos de gases de alimentacion dotado de tal carcasa. Por gases, hay que entender el aire o una mezcla de aire y de gases de escape.The invention relates to an inlet housing of a feed gas flow of an internal combustion engine and to an inlet module of feed gas flows provided with such a housing. By gases, you have to understand the air or a mixture of air and exhaust gases.

La invencion tiene sus aplicaciones, en particular, como parte integrante de un dispositivo de admision de gases, para la introduccion de dichos gases en la culata de un motor de combustion interna de vehnculo automovil.The invention has its applications, in particular, as an integral part of a gas admission device, for the introduction of said gases into the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle.

Un motor de combustion interna de vehnculo automovil incluye una pluralidad de camaras de combustion, delimitadas cada una de ellas por un piston, un cilindro y una porcion de una culata. Estas camaras de combustion reciben una mezcla de comburente y de combustible, destinados a ser quemados para generar el trabajo del motor. El comburente incluye aire, que puede ser o no comprimido, segun que el motor incluya o no un turbocompresor. El aire, por otro lado, se puede mezclar con gases de escape, llamados gases de escape recirculados. Los gases admitidos en la camara de combustion recibiran, seguidamente, el nombre de gases de alimentacion.An internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes a plurality of combustion chambers, each delimited by a piston, a cylinder and a portion of a cylinder head. These combustion chambers receive a mixture of oxidizer and fuel, intended to be burned to generate engine work. The oxidizer includes air, which may or may not be compressed, depending on whether or not the engine includes a turbocharger. The air, on the other hand, can be mixed with exhaust gases, called recirculated exhaust gases. The gases admitted to the combustion chamber will then be called the supply gases.

Se conoce aumentar la densidad de estos gases de alimentacion procediendo a un enfriamiento de estos ultimos, por ejemplo, favoreciendo un intercambio termico entre los gases de alimentacion y un flujo de aire exterior al vehnculo por mediacion de un intercambiador termico aire / aire.It is known to increase the density of these feed gases by cooling them, for example, by favoring a thermal exchange between the feed gases and a flow of air outside the vehicle through a thermal air / air exchanger.

Igualmente, se conoce realizar este enfriamiento mediante intercambio entre los gases de alimentacion y un fluido llamado de refrigeracion, por ejemplo, realizado en forma de un lfquido que circula por un intercambiador termico a traves del cual pasan los gases de alimentacion.Likewise, it is known to perform this cooling by exchange between the feed gases and a fluid called cooling, for example, made in the form of a liquid that circulates through a heat exchanger through which the feed gases pass.

En el caso precedente, el intercambiador termico va instalado en el interior de una carcasa que delimita el circuito de admision frente al aire que circunda el motor de combustion interna. Esta carcasa puede estar realizada, por ejemplo, en un material plastico y, entonces, el intercambiador termico se aloja dentro de esta carcasa fabricada a partir de un material plastico. Se desprende, no obstante, que este tipo de carcasa plastica no resiste las elevadas temperaturas que pueden hallarse, especialmente, cuando el motor de combustion interna esta equipado con un turbocompresor y/o cuando el motor de combustion interna utiliza el diesel como combustible.In the previous case, the heat exchanger is installed inside a housing that delimits the intake circuit against the air surrounding the internal combustion engine. This housing can be made, for example, in a plastic material and, then, the heat exchanger is housed inside this housing made from a plastic material. It follows, however, that this type of plastic housing does not withstand the high temperatures that can be found, especially when the internal combustion engine is equipped with a turbocharger and / or when the internal combustion engine uses diesel as fuel.

Esta situacion se ha superado mediante la utilizacion de carcasas metalicas realizadas a partir de un procedimiento de fundicion. Entonces, el intercambiador termico presenta paredes espesas, y se corona este ultimo con una caja de entrada y con una caja de salida para los gases de admision, formadas en la misma operacion de fundicion. A continuacion, se hermetiza la carcasa de admision soldando la caja de entrada y la caja de salida a las paredes espesas del intercambiador termico. Tal solucion, si bien cumple a satisfaccion para soportar las tensiones termicas, es pesada en su puesta en practica, especialmente a causa del empleo de pieza de fundicion. Por lo demas, las etapas de ensamble son numerosas, lo cual grava el coste de este componente.This situation has been overcome through the use of metal housings made from a casting procedure. Then, the heat exchanger has thick walls, and the latter is crowned with an inlet box and an outlet box for the intake gases, formed in the same smelting operation. Next, the intake housing is sealed by welding the inlet and outlet box to the thick walls of the heat exchanger. Such a solution, while fulfilling satisfaction to withstand thermal stresses, is heavy in its implementation, especially because of the use of casting. Otherwise, the assembly stages are numerous, which taxes the cost of this component.

El documento WO 2010/146063 A1 describe una carcasa de admision de aire que comprende una tapa de material plastico o de metal y una extension que forma cuerpo con la tapa. Extendiendose por toda la tapa en forma de ranuras, esta realizado un refuerzo mecanico.WO 2010/146063 A1 describes an air intake housing comprising a plastic or metal lid and an extension that forms a body with the lid. Extending all over the cover in the form of grooves, a mechanical reinforcement is made.

La finalidad de la presente invencion es, pues, solventar los inconvenientes antes descritos, principalmente realizando una carcasa de admision cuya pared que cine o rodea el intercambiador termico se prolonga con el fin de flanquear un volumen de entrada y/o un volumen de salida donde circula el flujo de gases de alimentacion, es decir, un volumen donde el flujo de gases entra o sale del intercambiador termico.The purpose of the present invention is, therefore, to solve the drawbacks described above, mainly by making an intake housing whose wall that surrounds or surrounds the heat exchanger is prolonged in order to flank an input volume and / or an output volume where the feed gas flow circulates, that is, a volume where the gas flow enters or exits the heat exchanger.

La invencion tiene, pues, por objeto una carcasa de admision de un motor de combustion interna segun la reivindicacion 1. La carcasa es apta para recibir un intercambiador termico entre un flujo de gases de alimentacion circulante por la carcasa y un fluido llamado de refrigeracion, comprendiendo dicha carcasa de admision un volumen de circulacion de gases de alimentacion y un volumen de recepcion del intercambiador termico, estando dicho volumen de recepcion del intercambiador delimitado por al menos un primer elemento metalico que comprende una extension que forma cuerpo con el primer elemento metalico, delimitando dicha extension, al menos en parte, el volumen de circulacion de gases de alimentacion. Se comprende que el volumen de recepcion es un volumen en el que se inscribe el intercambiador termico, pero estrictamente limitado a este ultimo. Se comprende igualmente que el volumen de circulacion es la zona de la carcasa comprendida entre la cara frontal del intercambiador termico y el orificio por el que circula el flujo de gases de alimentacion, ya sea para entrar o bien salir de la carcasa.The invention therefore has as an object an intake housing of an internal combustion engine according to claim 1. The housing is suitable for receiving a thermal exchanger between a flow of feed gases circulating through the housing and a fluid called cooling, said intake housing comprising a volume of circulation of feed gases and a volume of reception of the heat exchanger, said volume of reception of the exchanger being delimited by at least a first metal element comprising an extension that forms a body with the first metal element, delimiting said extension, at least in part, the volume of circulation of feed gases. It is understood that the reception volume is a volume in which the heat exchanger is inscribed, but strictly limited to the latter. It is also understood that the volume of circulation is the area of the housing comprised between the front face of the heat exchanger and the hole through which the flow of feed gases circulates, either to enter or exit the housing.

De acuerdo con una primera caractenstica de la invencion, el elemento metalico es una placa constituida, al menos en parte, a partir de aluminio.According to a first feature of the invention, the metal element is a plate constituted, at least in part, from aluminum.

De acuerdo con una variante distinta o complementaria, la forma del elemento metalico se realiza por embuticion.According to a different or complementary variant, the shape of the metal element is made by drawing.

De acuerdo con una segunda caractenstica de la invencion, la extension discurre en un plano que coincide con un plano de extension del elemento metalico. Tal solucion facilita la fabricacion del elemento metalico y de la extension.According to a second feature of the invention, the extension runs in a plane that coincides with an extension plane of the metallic element. Such a solution facilitates the fabrication of the metal element and the extension.

De acuerdo con otra caractenstica de la invencion, el volumen de recepcion esta delimitado por un segundo elemento metalico que comprende una extension que forma cuerpo con el segundo elemento metalico, delimitando dicha extension el volumen de circulacion de gases de alimentacion de manera opuesta al primer elemento con relacion al intercambiador termico. Se entiende, en este punto, que el intercambiador termico va interpuesto entre dos elementos metalicos que se prolongan cada uno de ellos en una extension definitoria de un volumen de circulacion de flujo.According to another feature of the invention, the volume of reception is delimited by a second metal element comprising an extension that forms a body with the second metal element, said extension delimiting the volume of circulation of feed gases opposite to the first element. in relation to the heat exchanger. It is understood, at this point, that the thermal exchanger is interposed between two metallic elements that extend each of them in a defining extension of a volume of flow of circulation.

De acuerdo con una caractenstica mas de la invencion, la carcasa de admision comprende una tapa que discurre entre el primer elemento metalico y el segundo elemento metalico para delimitar el volumen de circulacion de gases de alimentacion. Asf, este volumen esta flanqueado exclusivamente por las extensiones dimanadas de los elementos metalicos y por una pared en configuracion de tapa para aislar el volumen de circulacion con respecto al medio que circunda la carcasa de admision.According to a further feature of the invention, the intake housing comprises a cover that runs between the first metal element and the second metal element to delimit the volume of circulation of feed gases. Thus, this volume is flanked exclusively by the extensions emanating from the metal elements and by a wall in a cover configuration to isolate the volume of circulation with respect to the environment surrounding the intake housing.

De acuerdo con otra caractenstica mas de la invencion, la extension comprende al menos un refuerzo mecanico.According to another feature of the invention, the extension comprises at least one mechanical reinforcement.

De acuerdo con la invencion, este refuerzo mecanico adopta la forma de una o varias nervaduras practicadas de traves en la extension. Tal disposicion limita la deformacion de la extension que se sigue de la presion del gas de alimentacion en el interior del volumen de circulacion.According to the invention, this mechanical reinforcement takes the form of one or more ribs made of traverses in the extension. Such an arrangement limits the deformation of the extension that follows from the pressure of the feed gas inside the circulation volume.

Ventajosamente, el primer elemento metalico es solidario del intercambiador termico. Tal disposicion permite realizar una pieza intermedia monobloque que comprende el intercambiador termico y delimita al menos en parte el volumen de circulacion de gases de alimentacion hacia y/o con origen en el intercambiador termico. Asf, una vez ensamblado, el intercambiador termico comprende unas paredes que flanquean al menos en parte la camara de entrada y/o la camara de salida de la carcasa de admision.Advantageously, the first metal element is integral with the heat exchanger. Such an arrangement allows a monobloc intermediate piece comprising the heat exchanger and at least partly delimits the volume of circulation of feed gases to and / or originating in the heat exchanger. Thus, once assembled, the heat exchanger comprises walls that at least partly flank the inlet chamber and / or the outlet chamber of the intake housing.

Tambien ventajosamente, el primer elemento metalico es una placa terminal que forma parte del intercambiador termico. Asf, la placa terminal forma parte del ensamble de las piezas constitutivas del intercambiador que son reunidas entre sf previamente a una etapa de soldadura de aleacion, especialmente mediante paso por un horno.Also advantageously, the first metal element is an end plate that is part of the heat exchanger. Thus, the end plate is part of the assembly of the constituent parts of the exchanger that are joined together prior to an alloy welding stage, especially by passing through an oven.

Se hace notar, muy particularmente, que el volumen de circulacion de gases de alimentacion presenta un orificio de admision de dicho gas, estando realizada dicha extension mayoritariamente por el lado del orificio de admision.It is noted, very particularly, that the volume of circulation of feed gases has an intake port of said gas, said extension being made mostly by the side of the intake hole.

Finalmente, la invencion esta orientada a un modulo de admision de aire de un motor de combustion interna, que comprende una carcasa de admision tal como se ha presentado anteriormente y un intercambiador termico, previsto en o en el interior de la carcasa de admision, en correspondencia con la zona de recepcion.Finally, the invention is directed to an air intake module of an internal combustion engine, which comprises an intake housing as presented above and a thermal exchanger, provided in or inside the intake housing, in correspondence with the reception area.

Una ventaja primordial segun la invencion radica en la puesta a disposicion de una carcasa de admision de realizacion simple y economica, y con posibilidad de resistir las elevadas temperaturas de admision.A primary advantage according to the invention lies in the provision of an intake housing of simple and economical embodiment, and with the possibility of withstanding the high intake temperatures.

Radica otra ventaja en la posibilidad de fabricar las paredes de la carcasa de admision al mismo tiempo que se realiza el intercambiador termico, para asf determinar un elemento unitario en el que se agrega una tapa para constituir por ultimo un producto acabado como es un modulo de admision de aire.There is another advantage in the possibility of manufacturing the walls of the intake housing at the same time as the heat exchanger is carried out, in order to determine a unit element in which a lid is added to finally constitute a finished product such as a module of air intake

Otras caractensticas, detalles y ventajas de la invencion se desprenderan con mayor claridad de la lectura de la descripcion que a continuacion se da, a modo de indicacion, con relacion los dibujos, en los cuales:Other features, details and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the reading of the description that follows, by way of indication, in relation to the drawings, in which:

la figura 1 es una vista en perspectiva de un ejemplo de realizacion de una carcasa de admision segun la invencion, yFigure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of an intake housing according to the invention, and

la figura 2 es una vista en perspectiva de un ejemplo de realizacion de un modulo de admision segun la invencion.Figure 2 is a perspective view of an example of embodiment of an admission module according to the invention.

La figura 1 ilustra un ejemplo de realizacion de la carcasa de admision 1 segun la invencion. Tal carcasa recibe un intercambiador termico (visible en la figura 2), tambien denominado intercambiador de calor, a traves del cual pasa un flujo de gases de alimentacion que circula por la carcasa. Este intercambiador termico tiene como principal funcion refrigerar los gases de alimentacion previamente a su entrada en las camaras de combustion de un motor de combustion interna con que esta equipado un vehuculo automovil. La refrigeracion del flujo de gases se opera mediante una transferencia termica entre este flujo y un fluido de refrigeracion que circula en el centro del intercambiador termico. Este fluido es, por ejemplo, un fluido de refrigeracion que circula por un lazo de refrigeracion que equipa el vetuculo. Tal lazo o circuito de refrigeracion del motor participa en el acondicionamiento termico del motor de combustion interna que equipa el vetuculo.Figure 1 illustrates an example of embodiment of the intake housing 1 according to the invention. Such housing receives a thermal exchanger (visible in Figure 2), also called heat exchanger, through which a flow of feed gases passes through the housing. This thermal exchanger has the main function of cooling the feed gases prior to their entry into the combustion chambers of an internal combustion engine with which an automobile is equipped. The gas flow cooling is operated by a thermal transfer between this flow and a cooling fluid circulating in the center of the heat exchanger. This fluid is, for example, a cooling fluid that circulates through a cooling loop that equips the vehicle. Such a loop or engine cooling circuit participates in the thermal conditioning of the internal combustion engine that equips the vehicle.

La carcasa de admision 1 comprende o delimita un volumen de recepcion 2 del intercambiador termico y un volumen de circulacion 3 de los gases de alimentacion.The intake housing 1 comprises or delimits a reception volume 2 of the heat exchanger and a circulation volume 3 of the feed gases.

El volumen de recepcion 2 es la zona de la carcasa de admision 1 por la que discurre la totalidad del intercambiador termico. En otras palabras, el volumen de recepcion 2 es identico o sensiblemente identico al volumen ocupado por el intercambiador termico.The reception volume 2 is the area of the intake housing 1 through which the entire heat exchanger runs. In other words, the reception volume 2 is identically or substantially identical to the volume occupied by the heat exchanger.

De manera mas precisa, este volumen de recepcion 2 esta delimitado por al menos un primer elemento metalico 4. Un segundo elemento metalico 5 delimita asimismo el volumen de recepcion 2, y este segundo elemento metalico 5 va instalado en la parte opuesta al primer elemento metalico 4 con relacion al volumen de recepcion 2, en otras palabras, con relacion al intercambiador termico. El primer elemento metalico 4 y/o el segundo elemento metalico 5 son cada uno de ellos una placa realizada, al menos en parte, con aluminio. Ventajosamente, se tratara de una aleacion de aluminio susceptible de ser soldada con material de aportacion en el interior de un horno.More precisely, this reception volume 2 is delimited by at least one first metallic element 4. A second metallic element 5 also delimits the reception volume 2, and this second metallic element 5 is installed in the opposite part to the first metallic element 4 in relation to the reception volume 2, in other words, in relation to the heat exchanger. The first metal element 4 and / or the second metal element 5 are each a plate made, at least in part, with aluminum. Advantageously, it will be an aluminum alloy capable of being welded with material of contribution inside an oven.

El primer elemento metalico 4 y el segundo elemento metalico 5 discurren en planos paralelos y diferenciados. Unos trazos en punteado, referenciados con 6 a 9, se unen con los angulos de los dos elementos metalicos 4 y 5. Estos trazos en punteado ilustran los angulos que flanquean la zona de recepcion 2.The first metallic element 4 and the second metallic element 5 run in parallel and differentiated planes. Dotted strokes, referenced with 6 to 9, are joined with the angles of the two metallic elements 4 and 5. These dotted strokes illustrate the angles that flank the receiving area 2.

Un primer plano lateral 10 pasa por el primer trazo 6 y el segundo trazo 7. Este primer plano lateral delimita uno de los lados de la zona de recepcion, y queda previsto instalar un primer testero l1 en el primer plano lateral 10 para cerrar este lado del volumen de recepcion 2.A first lateral plane 10 passes through the first trace 6 and the second trace 7. This first lateral plane delimits one of the sides of the reception area, and it is planned to install a first tester l1 in the first lateral plane 10 to close this side of reception volume 2.

En la parte opuesta a este primer plano lateral 10 con relacion a la zona de recepcion 2, encontramos un segundo plano lateral 12, especialmente paralelo al primer plano lateral 10. Este segundo plano lateral 12 pasa por el tercer trazo 8 y el cuarto trazo 9 y, asf, delimita el volumen de recepcion 2 del intercambiador termico. Este segundo plano lateral 12 recibe un segundo testero 13, que pasa a cerrar el volumen de recepcion 2 del intercambiador termico por el lado opuesto al que recibe el primer testero 11.In the opposite part to this first lateral plane 10 in relation to the reception zone 2, we find a second lateral plane 12, especially parallel to the first lateral plane 10. This second lateral plane 12 passes through the third line 8 and the fourth line 9 and, thus, delimits the reception volume 2 of the heat exchanger. This second lateral plane 12 receives a second tester 13, which passes to close the reception volume 2 of the heat exchanger on the opposite side to that received by the first tester 11.

Perpendicularmente al primer plano lateral 10 y al segundo plano lateral 12, encontramos un plano frontal 14 y un plano posterior 15.Perpendicular to the first lateral plane 10 and the second lateral plane 12, we find a frontal plane 14 and a posterior plane 15.

El plano frontal 14 pasa por el segundo trazo 7 y por el tercer trazo 8 y define una cara de entrada de los gases de alimentacion en el interior del intercambiador termico. Esta entrada es especialmente paralela y/o coincide con una cara frontal del intercambiador, que resulta aparente en la figura 2.The frontal plane 14 passes through the second line 7 and the third line 8 and defines an inlet face of the feed gases inside the heat exchanger. This input is especially parallel and / or coincides with a front face of the exchanger, which is apparent in Figure 2.

El plano posterior 15 pasa por el primer trazo 6 y por el cuarto trazo 9. Este plano posterior 15 es, por ejemplo, paralelo a una cara posterior del intercambiador termico por la que es descargado o sale del intercambiador termico el flujo de gases de alimentacion.The backplane 15 passes through the first line 6 and the fourth line 9. This backplane 15 is, for example, parallel to a rear face of the heat exchanger through which the flow of feed gases is discharged or exits the heat exchanger .

Asf, se comprende que el flujo de gases de alimentacion que circula entre el plano frontal 14 y el plano posterior 15 circula a traves del intercambiador termico y resulta enfriado por la circulacion de fluido lfquido en el interior de un haz constitutivo del intercambiador.Thus, it is understood that the flow of feed gases circulating between the front plane 14 and the back plane 15 circulates through the heat exchanger and is cooled by the circulation of liquid fluid inside a constituent beam of the exchanger.

El volumen de recepcion 2 del intercambiador termico queda asf delimitado en su totalidad por:The reception volume 2 of the heat exchanger is thus completely delimited by:

- el primer y el segundo elemento metalico 4 y 5,- the first and second metallic elements 4 and 5,

- el primer y el segundo plano lateral 10 y 12, y- the first and second lateral planes 10 and 12, and

- el plano frontal 14 y el plano posterior 15.- the frontal plane 14 and the posterior plane 15.

Para entrar o salir del volumen de recepcion, es necesario arbitrar zonas o porciones de entrada y/o de salida. El volumen de circulacion de la invencion determina una zona o porcion de este tipo.To enter or exit the reception volume, it is necessary to arbitrate zones or portions of input and / or output. The volume of circulation of the invention determines an area or portion of this type.

De acuerdo con el ejemplo de la figura 1, el volumen de circulacion de gases de alimentacion 3 esta delimitado, al menos parcialmente, por una extension 16 del primer elemento metalico 4. Esta extension 16 forma cuerpo con el primer elemento metalico 4, en el sentido de que la extension 16 prolonga el primer elemento metalico, con el mismo material constitutivo de este elemento metalico y sin presencia de una soldadura o de cualquier otro metal de aportacion. Dicho de otro modo, el elemento metalico y la extension estan realizados de manera enteriza a partir de una misma placa o de un mismo fleje.According to the example of figure 1, the volume of circulation of feed gases 3 is limited, at least partially, by an extension 16 of the first metal element 4. This extension 16 forms a body with the first metal element 4, in the sense that the extension 16 extends the first metallic element, with the same constituent material of this metallic element and without the presence of a weld or any other contribution metal. In other words, the metal element and the extension are made integrally from the same plate or the same strap.

El elemento metalico y su extension estan conformados ventajosamente mediante una operacion de troquelado y embuticion. Tal procedimiento de conformado esta posibilitado por el hecho de que el elemento metalico dimana de un fleje en vez de dimanar de un procedimiento de fundicion.The metal element and its extension are advantageously shaped by means of a die-cutting and drawing operation. Such a forming procedure is made possible by the fact that the metal element derives from a strip rather than from a casting process.

El ejemplo que sigue describe el volumen de circulacion 3 en un caso en que este volumen constituye una zona oThe following example describes the volume of circulation 3 in a case where this volume constitutes a zone or

limitada a tal situacion, y se comprendera que este volumen de circulacion, delimitado por la extension, puede ser igualmente una camara de salida de los gases de alimentacion, es decir, tras el paso a traves del intercambiador termico.limited to such a situation, and it will be understood that this volume of circulation, delimited by the extension, can also be an outlet chamber of the feed gases, that is, after passing through the heat exchanger.

La extension 16 del primer elemento metalico delimita al menos en parte el volumen de circulacion 3, en el sentido de que esta extension canaliza el flujo de gases de alimentacion en direccion al intercambiador termico. De acuerdo con una variante de realizacion, el volumen de circulacion 3 esta asimismo delimitado o flanqueado por una extension 17 que forma parte del segundo elemento metalico 5.The extension 16 of the first metal element delimits at least in part the volume of circulation 3, in the sense that this extension channels the flow of feed gases in the direction of the heat exchanger. According to a variant embodiment, the volume of circulation 3 is also delimited or flanked by an extension 17 that is part of the second metal element 5.

Este volumen de circulacion 3 todav^a esta delimitado por un primer sector plano 18 que pasa por el segundo trazo 7 y por un quinto trazo en punteado, referenciado con 19. La delimitacion de este volumen de circulacion 3 se continua en un primer sector curvo 20, que pasa por el quinto trazo 19 y por un sexto trazo en punteado, referenciado con 21. Este ultimo se ubica en un punto de inflexion que delimita el primer sector curvo 20 frente a un segundo sector curvo 22 que discurre hasta un septimo trazo en punteado 23. El volumen de circulacion 3 todavfa esta delimitado por un segundo sector plano 24, que pasa por el septimo trazo 23 y por el tercer trazo 8. Este volumen de circulacion 3 esta delimitado finalmente por el plano frontal 14. En la descripcion llevada a cabo en este parrafo, se hace notar que el volumen de circulacion 3 esta desprovisto del intercambiador termico, quedando este circunscrito al volumen de recepcion 2.This volume of circulation 3 is still delimited by a first flat sector 18 that passes through the second line 7 and a fifth dotted line, referenced with 19. The delimitation of this volume of circulation 3 is continued in a first curved sector 20, which goes through the fifth line 19 and a sixth dotted line, referenced with 21. The latter is located at an inflection point that delimits the first curved sector 20 against a second curved sector 22 that runs up to a seventh line in dotting 23. The volume of circulation 3 is still delimited by a second flat sector 24, which passes through the seventh line 23 and the third line 8. This volume of circulation 3 is finally delimited by the frontal plane 14. In the description carried out in this paragraph, it is noted that the volume of circulation 3 is devoid of the heat exchanger, this being limited to the receiving volume 2.

El volumen de circulacion 3 del flujo de gases de alimentacion queda asf delimitado en su totalidad por:The volume of circulation 3 of the feed gas flow is thus completely delimited by:


- la extension 16 del primer elemento 4 y la extension 17 del segundo elemento 5,

- extension 16 of the first element 4 and extension 17 of the second element 5,


- el primer y el segundo sector plano 18 y 24,

- the first and second flat sectors 18 and 24,


- el primer y el segundo sector curvo 20 y 22, y

- the first and second curved sectors 20 and 22, and

- el plano frontal 14.- the frontal plane 14.

La seccion del volumen de circulacion 3 evoluciona del primer sector plano 18 hasta el segundo sector plano 24, pero hay que tener presente que este volumen de circulacion presenta una primera porcion 25 mas ancha que una segunda porcion 26, correspondiendo esta anchura a la distancia que separa el plano frontal 14 del borde 27 de la extension 16 o 17. El volumen de circulacion de gases de alimentacion 3 presenta un orificio de admision de los gases que discurre paralelamente al primer sector plano 18. Se trata de la abertura por la que el flujo de gases de alimentacion penetra en el volumen de circulacion 3 y, por tanto, en la carcasa de admision segun la invencion. Asf, este orificio de admision presenta una longitud definida por la distancia que separa la extension 16 del primer elemento metalico de la extension 17 del segundo elemento metalico 5. La anchura de este orificio esta definida por la distancia que separa el segundo trazo 7 y el quinto trazo 19. Asf, se comprende que la extension esta realizada mayoritariamente por el lado del orificio de admision, siendo mayor su anchura en correspondencia con la primera porcion 25 que en correspondencia con la segunda porcion 26.The section of the volume of circulation 3 evolves from the first flat sector 18 to the second flat sector 24, but it should be borne in mind that this volume of circulation has a first portion 25 wider than a second portion 26, this width corresponding to the distance that separates the frontal plane 14 from the edge 27 of the extension 16 or 17. The volume of circulation of feed gases 3 has a gas intake port that runs parallel to the first flat sector 18. It is the opening through which the Feed gas flow penetrates the volume of circulation 3 and, therefore, into the intake housing according to the invention. Thus, this intake hole has a length defined by the distance between the extension 16 of the first metal element of the extension 17 of the second metal element 5. The width of this hole is defined by the distance between the second stroke 7 and the fifth line 19. Thus, it is understood that the extension is made mostly by the side of the intake port, its width being greater in correspondence with the first portion 25 than in correspondence with the second portion 26.

La extension 16 del primer elemento metalico 4 y/o la extension 17 del segundo elemento metalico 5 comprende al menos un refuerzo mecanico 28. En un ejemplo de realizacion ilustrado en esta figura, el refuerzo mecanico 28 adopta la forma de una o varias nervaduras o deformaciones 29 realizadas por deformacion de la placa constitutiva de la extension. Este refuerzo mecanico queda limitado a la extension y no se extiende al elemento metalico. Esta disposicion aporta un refuerzo estructural en correspondencia con las extensiones, para evitar que estas ultimas se deformen por efecto de la presion dentro de la carcasa de admision, especialmente en el caso de motor de combustion interna equipado con compresor o turbocompresor.The extension 16 of the first metallic element 4 and / or the extension 17 of the second metallic element 5 comprises at least one mechanical reinforcement 28. In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in this figure, the mechanical reinforcement 28 takes the form of one or more ribs or deformations 29 made by deformation of the constituent plate of the extension. This mechanical reinforcement is limited to the extension and does not extend to the metal element. This arrangement provides a structural reinforcement in correspondence with the extensions, to prevent the latter from deforming due to the pressure inside the intake housing, especially in the case of an internal combustion engine equipped with a compressor or turbocharger.

La figura 2 muestra el modulo de admision 30 de la invencion. Este modulo de admision se constituye a partir de una carcasa de admision 1 tal como se ilustra en la figura 1 y de un intercambiador termico 31. Ventajosamente, este modulo de admision 30 se completa con la instalacion de una tapa 32. Es mas, se puede agregar una brida 33.Figure 2 shows the admission module 30 of the invention. This intake module is constituted from an intake housing 1 as illustrated in Figure 1 and a heat exchanger 31. Advantageously, this intake module 30 is completed with the installation of a cover 32. Moreover, You can add a flange 33.

La tapa 32 es un elemento que pasa a cerrar el volumen de circulacion 3, para asf aislar el flujo de gases de admision que circula por la carcasa frente al exterior de esta carcasa. Esta tapa discurre, al menos en parte, en un plano perpendicular al plano por el que discurre la extension 16. La tapa 32 comienza en correspondencia con la extension 16 del primer elemento metalico 4 y termina en correspondencia con la extension 17 del segundo elemento metalico 5, lo cual permite delimitar el volumen de circulacion 3 juntamente con la extension 16 del primer elemento metalico 4 y con la extension 17 del segundo elemento metalico 5.The cover 32 is an element that closes the circulation volume 3, in order to isolate the flow of intake gases that circulates through the housing in front of this housing. This cover runs, at least in part, in a plane perpendicular to the plane through which extension 16 runs. Cover 32 begins in correspondence with extension 16 of the first metallic element 4 and ends in correspondence with extension 17 of the second metallic element. 5, which allows to define the volume of circulation 3 together with the extension 16 of the first metallic element 4 and with the extension 17 of the second metallic element 5.

Esta tapa 32 esta fabricada a partir de una chapa o fleje metalico, especialmente de aluminio o de aleacion de aluminio. Esta tapa se conforma mediante un procedimiento de embuticion. Esta tapa 32 comprende una banda central 34 de forma sensiblemente paralelepipedica y dos flancos, referenciados con 35 y 36, que discurren en la longitud de la banda central 34. Estos flancos 35 y 36 discurren en un plano perpendicular al plano de extension de la banda central. Son realizados, por ejemplo, mediante una operacion de doblado, o durante la operacion de embuticion.This cover 32 is made from a metal sheet or strip, especially aluminum or aluminum alloy. This lid is shaped by a drawing procedure. This cover 32 comprises a central band 34 of substantially parallelepipedic shape and two flanks, referenced with 35 and 36, which run along the length of the central band 34. These flanks 35 and 36 run in a plane perpendicular to the plane of extension of the band central. They are performed, for example, by a bending operation, or during the drawing operation.

Esta tapa 32 presenta un primer sector que comienza en un extremo longitudinal de la tapa. Este primer sector discurre en un primer plano y se continua en un segundo sector que discurre en un segundo plano, inclinado con respecto al primer plano segun un angulo comprendido, por ejemplo, entre 40 y 90°, segun un doblado en el sentido trigonometrico. Entonces, la tapa 1 presenta una forma general en “L”.This cover 32 has a first sector that begins at a longitudinal end of the cover. This first sector runs in a first plane and continues in a second sector that runs in a second plane, inclined with respect to the first plane according to an angle comprised, for example, between 40 and 90 °, according to a bending in the trigonometric direction. Then, the cover 1 has a general "L" shape.

El orificio de admision 37, por el que el flujo de gases de alimentacion penetra en el volumen de circulacion 3, esta practicado a traves del segundo sector de la tapa 32. La brida 33 comprende una abertura central 38 de dimensiones sensiblemente equivalentes a las dimensiones del orificio de admision 37.

Se va a describir a continuacion un ejemplo de realizacion del intercambiador termico.An example of embodiment of the heat exchanger will be described below.

El intercambiador termico 31 comprende un haz 40 y una zona de distribucion 41 del fluido de refrigeracion en el haz. El haz 40 es la porcion consagrada al intercambio termico entre el flujo de gases de alimentacion y el fluido de refrigeracion. El intercambiador termico comprende una pluralidad de tubos 42, realizado cada uno de ellos mediante una pareja de placas reunidas una contra otra. Un paso entre estas placas define la circulacion del fluido lfquido de refrigeracion por el haz 40. El plano que pasa por el borde de cada tubo define una cara frontal 43 del intercambiador termico 31, siendo esta cara la primera a traves de la cual pasa el flujo de gases de alimentacion segun el sentido de circulacion de este ultimo por el modulo de admision 30. El plano que pasa por esta cara frontal 43 es, en este punto, paralelo y/o coincide con el plano frontal 14 que separa el volumen de recepcion 2 con relacion al volumen de circulacion 3.The heat exchanger 31 comprises a beam 40 and a distribution zone 41 of the cooling fluid in the beam. The beam 40 is the portion devoted to the thermal exchange between the flow of feed gases and the cooling fluid. The heat exchanger comprises a plurality of tubes 42, each made by a pair of plates joined together. A passage between these plates defines the circulation of the liquid cooling fluid through the beam 40. The plane that passes through the edge of each tube defines a front face 43 of the heat exchanger 31, this face being the first through which the flow of feed gases according to the direction of circulation of the latter through the intake module 30. The plane passing through this front face 43 is, at this point, parallel and / or coincides with the front plane 14 that separates the volume of reception 2 in relation to the volume of circulation 3.

El intercambiador termico 31 comprende asimismo la zona de distribucion 41 del fluido de refrigeracion, donde el fluido de refrigeracion es canalizado para ser repartido a cada tubo 42 del haz 40. Entre cada tubo 42, encontramos un intercalar 44 de forma ondulada, cuya funcion es favorecer la transferencia termica entre el fluido de refrigeracion y el flujo de gases de alimentacion circulante por el modulo de admision 30.The heat exchanger 31 also includes the distribution area 41 of the cooling fluid, where the cooling fluid is channeled to be distributed to each tube 42 of the beam 40. Between each tube 42, we find an interleaver 44 in a wavy shape, whose function is favor the thermal transfer between the cooling fluid and the flow of circulating feed gases through the intake module 30.

El primer elemento metalico 4, equipado con su extension 16, es solidario del intercambiador termico 31. De acuerdo con un ejemplo de realizacion, el primer elemento metalico se suelda al intercambiador termico despues de constituido este ultimo. De acuerdo con otra variante de realizacion, el primer elemento metalico 4 es una placa terminal del intercambiador termico 31 que forma parte de este ultimo. Una placa terminal es un componente reunido con el intercambiador termico y solidarizado a este al mismo tiempo que los demas componentes del intercambiador termico, especialmente las placas y los intercalares. Esta placa terminal puede reunirse con el ultimo intercalar del intercambiador termico al objeto de brindarle una proteccion mecanica. Asimismo, esta placa puede participar en la determinacion de un tubo 42 por el que circula el fluido lfquido.The first metal element 4, equipped with its extension 16, is integral with the heat exchanger 31. According to an embodiment, the first metal element is welded to the heat exchanger after the latter is constituted. According to another variant embodiment, the first metal element 4 is an end plate of the heat exchanger 31 that is part of the latter. An end plate is a component joined with the heat exchanger and in solidarity with it at the same time as the other components of the heat exchanger, especially the plates and the interleaves. This terminal plate can meet the last interleaver of the heat exchanger in order to provide mechanical protection. Likewise, this plate can participate in the determination of a tube 42 through which the liquid fluid circulates.

El parrafo anterior alude al primer elemento metalico 4, pero ni que decir tiene que el intercambiador puede fabricarse integrando el primer elemento metalico 4 y el segundo elemento metalico 5, comprendiendo cada uno de ellos una extension que delimita una camara de entrada y/o de salida de la carcasa de admision.The previous paragraph refers to the first metal element 4, but it goes without saying that the exchanger can be manufactured by integrating the first metal element 4 and the second metal element 5, each comprising an extension that delimits an input chamber and / or intake housing outlet.

Le figura 2 muestras asimismo la presencia de un primer agujero 45 y de un segundo agujero 46 practicados a traves de uno al menos de los elementos metalicos 4 o 5. En el presente caso, los dos agujeros 45 y 46 estan realizados a traves del segundo elemento metalico 5, sensiblemente frente a la zona de distribucion 41 por la que el fluido es repartido a los tubos 42. Estos dos agujeros permiten que el fluido de refrigeracion penetre en el intercambiador termico 31 y sirven de asiento para la recepcion de tubenas anadidas sobre el elemento metalico, por ejemplo simultaneamente a la soldadura de aleacion de la carcasa de admision 1 o del modulo de admision 30.Figure 2 also shows the presence of a first hole 45 and a second hole 46 made through at least one of the metal elements 4 or 5. In the present case, the two holes 45 and 46 are made through the second metallic element 5, substantially in front of the distribution area 41 through which the fluid is distributed to the tubes 42. These two holes allow the cooling fluid to penetrate the heat exchanger 31 and serve as a seat for the reception of tubes added over the metal element, for example simultaneously with the alloy welding of the intake housing 1 or the intake module 30.

La anterior descripcion alude a una extension o excrecencia por elemento metalico, pero la invencion cubre asimismo el caso en el que al menos uno de los dos elementos metalicos comprende una pluralidad de extensiones o excrecencias que discurren a ambos lados de la porcion del elemento metalico que cubre o solapa la zona de recepcion 2 del intercambiador termico. Tal disposicion permite realizar una carcasa de admision que integra:The foregoing description refers to an extension or excretion per metallic element, but the invention also covers the case in which at least one of the two metallic elements comprises a plurality of extensions or excretions that run on both sides of the portion of the metallic element that covers or overlaps the reception area 2 of the heat exchanger. Such an arrangement allows to realize an intake housing that integrates:

- un volumen de recepcion de un intercambiador termico delimitado por un elemento metalico,- a volume of reception of a thermal exchanger delimited by a metallic element,

- una camara de admision situada aguas arriba del volumen de recepcion segun el sentido de- an intake chamber located upstream of the reception volume according to the direction of

desplazamiento del flujo por la carcasa,displacement of the flow through the housing,

- una camara de descarga situada aguas abajo del volumen de recepcion segun el sentido de- a discharge chamber located downstream of the reception volume according to the direction of

desplazamiento del flujo por la carcasa,displacement of the flow through the housing,

- estando cada camara delimitada al menos por una extension que forma cuerpo con el elemento metalico.- each chamber being delimited at least by an extension that forms a body with the metallic element.
